Infinix HOT 70 key specs and features

The new Infinix HOT 70 features a Dynamic Shine Design with "baby smooth" reflective finish available in Night Pulse, Dive Blue, Silver Dancer, Green Texture, and Thermo Orange colors.

Infinix said that this is a durable smartphone with the SGS Military-Grade Drop Certification and IP65 dust and water resistance.

It also has a One-Tap AI FlashMemo button that could also be used to activate Ask Folax.

In front, it has a 6.78-inch LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, HD+ resolution, and a top-center punch-hole housing the 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera.

Inside, the handset is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate octa-core processor with Mali-G57 MC2, a chip we've seen in so many budget phones in the past. It would have been better if Infinix used a newer-gen SoC.

It is paired with 4GB RAM (upgradable up to 8GB with the help of its internal storage), 128GB expandable storage, and an upgraded 6,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.

The handset also has a 50MP f/1.9 main shooter paired with an auxiliary sensor and LED flash.

Infinix said that it runs with Android 16 OS with XOS 16 skin on top.

It has 3x OS upgrades and 5 years of software updates, as well as 5-Year TÜV Fluency, ensuring optimized performance that stays smooth over time.
